Global Smiles OR Monitor & Critical Supply Drive
In our world of chaos and craziness, the selfless work of people and organizations behind groups like the Global Smiles Foundation stand as powerful reminders that love and kindness can endure.
The Global Smiles Foundation urgently needs your support to replace broken medical equipment that is critical to sustain our mission work. The equipment is vital for providing safe and superior care to children in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and underserved children globally. Your donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful impact.
World class care for underserved children.
Every donation, even just a couple of bucks, contributes to our cause!
More about GSF
Our vision is a world where all children born with cleft lip/palate receive the highest quality care, enabling them and their families to lead healthy and productive lives. We are driven by two primary goals: building sustainable global capacity for cleft care through educational initiatives and research, and leading highly qualified teams of volunteer cleft specialists on outreach programs in LMICs (Low- and Middle-Income Countries) to provide humanitarian cleft care services to children and their families.
Sustainability and continuous care through local education and outreach programs.
GSF was established in 2009 as a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation by a group of medical and non-medical professionals dedicated to global health outreach in Latin America, Africa, and the Indian Subcontinent, serving those born with cleft. Visit our website, www.gsmile.org, for detailed information about our mission, history, leadership, patient profiles, and upcoming plans.
Cleft is one of the most common congenital birth defects globally, occurring in approximately 1 in every 700 live births, equating to around 250,000 babies born each year with cleft lip/palate in low- to middle-income countries. However, the specialized care needed is not as widely available as the problem.
Comprehensive cleft care, standard in places like the United States and the United Kingdom, is severely limited in developing countries and virtually non-existent for families on the lower end of the socioeconomic spectrum. Children with cleft are often stigmatized and seen as a curse, facing abandonment by their families. These heartbreaking stories emphasize the importance of our work to our patient families and strengthen our commitment to our mission.
Your contribution will help us reach our goal, enabling us to continue life-changing surgeries safely and effectively.
Intense loyalty of volunteers for a wonderful organization that is improving lives.
Thank you for your generosity and support!!
Warm regards,
Tommy Leonard
